FACULTY

Thanks to Expanding Excellence in England funding, the University of Bradford’s Centre for Digital Innovations in Health & Social Care is embarking on an exciting programme of rapid growth. We are seeking a collaborative and motivated researcher to contribute to the growth and development of the Centre.
Our Centre is multidisciplinary, undertaking high quality co-created applied research that (i) informs the design and implementation of new technologies in national and international health and care systems; and (ii) explores the impact of such technologies on patients, service users, carers, and health and social care professionals. Employing theory-driven approaches for design and evaluation, the Centre’s research offers an understanding of the contextual factors that impact the success of an innovation, informing both future technology design and its implementation. Research in the Centre is mixed method, combining qualitative data that delivers deep insight with the quantitative data that caters to the needs of policymakers.

QUALIFICATIONS/ EXPERIENCE:

You will have a PhD in medical sociology or anthropology or related subject, or demonstrate equivalent experience. Additionally, you should have experience of applying for research funding and a proven ability to publish in high quality peer-reviewed journals as first author.

You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.

This post is available immediately and until 31st July 2029 in the first instance. It is a tenure-track position. In the first years, the successful candidate will be expected to develop their own programme of research.
